The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Nope. Because neanderthals were really just human beings that lived a very long time. Brow ridges and noses, and chins all become larger the longer you’re alive. Your nose keeps growing, and bones get larger through long periods of use.

Why did Neanderthals have such big noses?

From chasing parked cars?
